I am a follower of the Goatse.cx.
I'm not gay, but the best way I can describe this is a virus, and once you've been infected and violated by it you feel the need to spread the virus to new hosts.
About three years back I was talking with a friend on ICQ and it happened, he sent me the link "www.goatse.cx". I click it, and to my horror the image appears on my screen. I was disgusted...but after thinking it over a bit...it was pretty damn funny. I decided to send it to all of my friends because I am a Jackass, and from that point on if you have established a relationship with me and you have a computer, I have violated your trust by sending you to this website. Life is strange.
